Abstract

A UE may receive, from a base station, a configuration for a plurality of parameter sets that each include one or more parameters for a RACH message and are each associated with one of TDM, FDM, or SDM. The UE may determine a transmission type of the RACH message corresponding to one or more of the TDM, the FDM, or the SDM and transmit the RACH message to the base station based on at least one parameter set and the determined transmission type of the RACH message. In aspects, the configuration received by the UE may be a configuration for transmitting the RACH message based on a RACH determination protocol. The UE may transmit the RACH message to the base station based on the received configuration associated with the RACH determination protocol and the determined at least one transmission type of the RACH message.
